“Since March 2017 I have visited nearly a dozen California State Prisons, Juvenile Detention Centers and halfway homes as apart of Commonʼs Prison Tour to help end mass incarceration. Each incarcerated man, woman, teenager and non-binary person I have met during these visits have impacted my life in some way. This series celebrates their lives because, although the system tries to say otherwise, they matter.” // Read and see more from my portrait series “The Road to Redemption”, and content from other brilliant black creators, in #RadicalSeeds presented by @_malaforever_ in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth. Thank you @common @imaginexjustice @michaellatt for allowing me into these spaces to capture these moments. #end #massincarceration

Looking Ahead | This next year is gonna be about leveling up. Taking care of myself, preserving relationships, making deadlines, keeping promises, being there for my family, being honest, finishing scripts, finishing books, budgeting, knowing myself worth, being good to my body, valuing time, cherishing each moment like it could be my last. 2019, I’m ready for you girl. #levelup

Since we’re still on the topic. #bestfriend #birthdaygirl

Honestly, not sure what I did to get a best friend like you. 17 years of debauchery. You have always been there for me through the laughs, tears and twerk sessions. You uplift and bring joy to anyone who you come in contact with. You give back to your community and loved ones in ways I can only dream of. I don’t know where I’d be without you. I wish everyone could have a Nedjra Manning in their life. The world would truly be a better place. Happy birthday week to @mcnedjett love you forever. #29 #sweet16

Happy birthday to my sister, goddess divine, and Trinidad’s national treasure. The creativity and talent that your tiny frame exudes never ceases to amaze me, whether it is on stage, in front of the camera, in the writers room or in the kitchen (gyal can cook!) You continue to inspire me with your spirit and love of life. I know this upcoming year is going to be a magical one for you my sweet. To getting older and wiser 🥂 @thighyeese #29 #portrait
